Weekly discussion groups are one of the cornerstones of the Fellows Program. Over the course of eight weeks, each Fellow will lead a weekly 90-minute discussion with students on a current political topic. No required readings. No papers. Just lively discussions open to the entire university community. Discussion groups will take place in the GU Politics Living Room – Healy Hall G-18.
The Fellows bring their unique perspective. All we ask is that you bring yours!
Discussion Groups for the Spring 2025 Fellows begin February 10. If you’d like to add Discussion Groups to your calendar, please click here.
